We Need Your Help! Win a Free Ralphie Report Shirt!

by Jon Woods on Aug 21, 2008 11:07 AM MDT Comment 16 comments

Now that The Ralphie Report has found it's permanent home here on SBNation, we want to create some gameday t-shirts to give away to readers and fans at the CU games to help get the word out about the site. As of right now we are thinking a black t-shirt with the site address on the back, but we are drawing a blank on what to put on the front.

That's where you come in! What would you like the front of the shirt to say? Give us your ideas and we will choose the best one and give you a FREE shirt with your design on it. We have no limitations other than we don't want it to be profane since it will have the site name on the back and we don't want it to focus on a specific game so that it can be worn all year long (or at least until it's to cold for t-shirts).

We'd like to have these ready for the West Virginia game so either leave your ideas in the comments section or email us at theralphiereport@gmail.com by Friday, August 29th.

T-shirt

Put the picture of the buff and the Ralphie report listed at the top of the site. On the back have the link and above it “Keeping Buff Fans Informed”

Similar idea

I think the logo at the top is great for the front but my idea for the copy is a quote

""We like to run around a lot and we’re cute, but sometimes we chew things up and pee on the rug,"
-Dan Hawkins 2008

Nice...

I think the CU co-eds would definitely sport that! Keep the ideas coming…

Woodrow,

Maybe we should just get an outlined bada$$ picture of Dan Hawkins face on the front and put a chuck norris quote below it like – Coach Hawk once visited the Virgin Islands. Now they’re just “The Islands” or God created man in his own image. God created himself in Coach Hawk’s image or When the Boogeyman goes to bed at night, he checks his closet for Coach Hawk or When Dan Hawkins works out, the machine gets stronger or When Coach Hawk goes swimming, he doesn’t get wet, the water gets Hawk.

How about

Every time coach hawkins downloads and Itune…Apple pays him 99 cents

Big fan of these

Dan Hawkins is the only man to ever defeat the brick wall in a game of tennis

When Hawk does a pushup, he isn’t lifting himself up, he’s pushing the Earth down.

yep...

good luck unringing that bell…

Haha...

There’s too many good ones to list.

Right now my favorite is probably the “intramurals” quote with an outline of Hawkins face. It never gets old (poor Gundy is screwed now that he is 41).

Lots of time for my good ideas though, Im loving em.

how's this?

Do the Buff logo but with RR substituted for CU and have the Buff in Gold, with black lettering and horns.

Shoulder to Shoulder on back.

Think that would be cool with copyright issues? I wish we could just put the damn logo on there too. (By the way, everyone who has submitted any idea prior to this post is going to receive a free shirt of whatever we decide…)

Well...

If you’re thinking of this one, I’d give the guys at the t-shirt company a call since they should have a general idea of what is kosher. Or run it by a patent attorney—first call will be free.

I think that:

1. The letters are different
2. The color scheme is reversed from the typical logo

A variation, and one that I think may be even more distinguishable would be to do an I “heart” NY type of thing by doing an RR buff, a heart, and the CU buff with Ralphie Report written either above or below.

cool ideas all

There are a lot of t-shirts out there with the “shoulder to shoulder” thing on them, been there, done that. I like the idea of the fierce picture of Hawk and a Chuck Norris quote, or the “We like to run around a lot and we’re cute, but sometimes we chew things up and pee on the rug” thing on the front and the web address and picture on the back. Make it funny. Funny shirts rule. Huh huh huh huh :-)
